Meet Marcia Vidal

MeI'm a Londoner, born and bred, and design and produce from my workshop in Hackney.My love of silversmithing was born many years ago in a magical little town called Pushkar, in the Indian state of Rajasthan. I stumbled upon a local jeweller teaching silversmithing to tourists and decided to have a go at making a ring. I ended up staying in Pushkar for months so I could learn as much as possible with Sunil. I fell in love with the technique and the town. Every few weeks I would take a trip to the magpie paradise of Jaipur to fill my pockets with dazzling gems. Back in London, I invested in all the tools I needed and honed my skills.Puja on Pushkar's holy lake​

Photo by Searching for SatoriI still visit India as often as possible and my fascination with the colours and ancient rituals and traditions of the country has had a very strong influence on my design aesthetic. Symbolism is an everyday part of Indian culture and can be seen on everything, from temples to the markings on peoples faces. It is an unspoken language - shapes and colours that mean more than mere aesthetics. All of my time spent in India has filled me with a fascination for the symbolic which inspired many of the pieces in my collections.A contemporary take on ancient talismans and amulets, my jewellery is a representation of the esoteric in the modern metropolis and is designed to empower the women who wear it to invoke their divine feminine. Jewellery for women with one foot in the material world and one foot in the spirit world who are looking for jewellery to be worn as more than simply decoration but as symbols of what they wish to manifest and become.10% Of All Sales Donated To CalAid CharityCalAid are providing desperately needed support to the displaced people living in the Calais refugee camp.
